Beautifully androgynous models are dressed in extraordinary ensembles\u00a0with clean-cut, glamorous silhouettes\u00a0that disregard all notions of gender. Trapiello decided very early on in his career that he wouldn&#8217;t conform to the\u00a0restrictions imposed by gender-specific clothing.\u00a0&#8220;Thinking according to gender leaves little space to play and create&#8221;, he explains.\u00a0&#8220;Clothing has to be used as a tool to express individuality instead of gender.&#8221;<br \/>\nWhile gender is not an important factor in Trapiello&#8217;s\u00a0work, environmental concerns are all the more important to him \u2013 yet another reason\u00a0to fall in love with his designs. Pep Trapiello takes a stance against fast fashion, which he sees as a threat not only to the environment, but to self-expression through clothing, too. &#8220;I am proud to say that I do fashion high and fair&#8221;, he declares, consequently, all of the fabrics used for his collections either come from secondhand marketplaces or are 100% biodegradable, and the entire production chain for his clothing\u00a0is rooted\u00a0in\u00a0Berlin.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Pep-Trapiello-3.jpeg\" alt=\"Pep Trapiello 3\" width=\"1336\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;I\u00a0found\u00a0other sides\u00a0to\u00a0Berlin that gave me inspiration:\u00a0the\u00a0parts of the city\u00a0that are\u00a0less rough and more decadent&#8221; \u2013 Pep Trapiello<\/h2>\n<p>Trapiello moved here after he finished his fashion design studies in Madrid. Unlike most newcomers to the German capital, he didn&#8217;t feel a connection to the sombre, fetish-inspired aesthetic of the city. &#8220;I tried to fit in, but soon I realised that it wasn&#8217;t really me&#8221;, he tells. &#8220;I\u00a0found\u00a0other sides\u00a0to\u00a0Berlin that gave me inspiration and made my influences much richer:\u00a0the\u00a0parts of the city\u00a0that are\u00a0less rough and more decadent, where the past decades are still shining\u00a0and a\u00a0night out feels like being in back in 1981.&#8221;\u00a0Thanks to\u00a0these visual impacts and his obsession with &#8217;60s-80s sci-fi films, he designs pieces that deviate from the all-black, Berghain-friendly\u00a0clothing\u00a0that is so abundant in the Berlin fashion scene. With his genuine approach to design and his luxuriously minimalistic clothes, Pep Trapiello has found a way to stick out from the masses.<br \/>\nScroll through the images below for even more looks from Pep Trapiello&#8217;s AW17 lookbook:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Pep-Trapiello-5.jpg\" alt=\"Pep Trapiello 5\" width=\"1336\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Pep-Trapiello-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Pep Trapiello\" width=\"1336\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49754\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Pep-Trapiello-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Pep Trapiello\" width=\"1336\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pep Trapiello is the Berlin-based designer creating ungendered, eco-friendly and highly fabulous pieces for all<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50031,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[81],"tags":[34,8309,21,8310,1511],"class_list":["post-49569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion","tag-berlin","tag-berlin-designers","tag-fashion","tag-pep-trapiello","tag-young-designers"],"acf":{"main_category":null,"legacy":"1","exclude_from_ads":null,"hero_title":null,"subtitle":null,"hero":null,"teasers":null,"facebook_image":null,"related_articles":null,"next_article":null,"sleek_card_focus":null,"content":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Berlin-based Designer Challenging Gender Norms Through &#039;70s Glam Clothing The Berlin-based Designer Challenging Gender Norms Through &#039;70s Glam Clothing<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pep Trapiello is the Berlin-based designer creating ungendered, eco-friendly and highly fabulous pieces for all\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/pep-trapiello\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Berlin-based Designer Challenging Gender Norms Through &#039;70s Glam Clothing The Berlin-based Designer Challenging Gender Norms Through &#039;70s Glam Clothing\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Pep Trapiello is the Berlin-based designer creating ungendered, eco-friendly and highly fabulous pieces for all\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/pep-trapiello\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-04-05T14:23:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2\u00a0Minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
